Traevione Smith, 22, was fatally shot on November 20, 2021, at the Oakwood Terrace Apartments in Pensacola. Witnesses said Smith and Jeremy Lane were playing dice at the bottom of a stairwell when gunfire erupted; witnesses reported seeing Lane fire toward Smith and that Smith limped as if shot in the leg before succumbing to his injuries shortly afterward.

The two men had a history of conflict stemming from a prior dispute over a woman, and that animosity reportedly produced several earlier confrontations in which firearms were drawn. Lane fled the scene but was later arrested in McIntosh, Alabama, and extradited back to Escambia County on December 8, 2021. He was charged with second-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon; jury selection for his trial was set for June 12, 2023, though the proceedings were described as affected by an uncooperative witness.

Anyone who knew Traevione, was at Oakwood Terrace that night, or has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
